| Summary: | This thesis sets out to provide a model for the
calculation of private car trips to large foodstores based
on local area household characteristics. It recognises
the weakness in predicting private-car trips to large
stores using trip-rates obtained from surveys of stores in
other areas. The trip generation model that is sought
must be easily applied and must use readily accessible
data. It is proposed therefore that a relationship be
sought between private- car trips to the stores and the
household characteristics, obtainable from census data, of
the local catchment area. The model thus obtained would
be used for strategic planning control. |
